1 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Penn s Landing is envisioned as a welcoming riverfront green space adjacent to a refurbished civic marina becoming the centerpiece for adjacent development. With a new transit interchange, ferry terminal, and improved connections across I-95, Penn s Landing will become a signature urban park.
2 1 Executive Summary The central Delaware riverfront in Philadelphia is an area of enormous cultural, ecological and economic potential. With more than 1,100 acres of land stretched over seven miles from Oregon to Allegheny Avenues and the Delaware River to I-95 the riverfront offers the city a prime opportunity to capitalize on this signature public asset. Its location along one of the world s great working rivers, its proximity to the strong Center City Philadelphia real estate market, its vibrant neighborhoods to the west of I-95, and the stunning sweep of history along its shores place the central Delaware among the most important development areas in the region today.
3 Executive Summary 11 Despite this potential, the goal of creating a world-class riverfront along the central Delaware has eluded the city for nearly forty years. The central Delaware has been hampered by a variety of factors, including zoning regulations that have not been updated since the city s industrial decline; weak economic cycles; unsympathetic development that has filled large, postindustrial parcels with suburbanstyle structures; minimal points of public access; the barrier created by public-infrastructure investments such as I-95; and the lack of a comprehensive plan to guide the creation of public spaces and private development. The Civic Vision for the Central Delaware presents the city with a challenge: to transform the physical, social and political landscapes of the central Delaware riverfront at a time when the city is facing explosive riverfront growth, including the possibility of two stateauthorized casinos, within the project area. The Civic Vision for the Central Delaware offers a framework for development predicated on public riverfront access and urban design excellence. It is based on planning principles grounded in the values and civic aspirations of more than four thousand Philadelphians who participated in a year-long public-planning process. The process was led by PennPraxis of the School of Design of the University of Pennsylvania and authorized by executive order of Philadelphia Mayor John F. Street on October 12, The charge was to create a civic vision for the central Delaware that balances the public good, access to the waterfront, open space and quality urban development. The hallmark of the work has been the civicengagement process, which was designed and facilitated in collaboration with the Penn Project on Civic Engagement.
4 12 PennPraxis WRT William Penn Foundation These civic principles are the foundation for the vision: Reconnect the city to the river s edge. Build Philadelphia back to the river. Split up the sprawling, super-blockstyle street layout that currently undermines the character of the central Delaware, and increase and enhance the quality of the physical and visual connections between the riverfront and adjacent neighborhoods. Honor the river. The Delaware River is a significant regional resource. Acknowledge both the historical role the river played in shaping Philadelphia as a leading American city and its importance to the city today. Support the needs of the shipping industry and Philadelphia s working port, as well as the river s recreational and environmental potential. Design with nature. Remember that the Delaware River is a giant watershed. Plan development along the river s edge carefully, so that natural sites can coexist harmoniously with other uses, such as residences, businesses and the working port. Strike the right balance. Create a twenty-four-hour, livable and walkable community along the entire river s edge by encouraging a healthy mix of urban development and public improvements. Successful cities offer a tantalizing blend of uses throughout the day and year, so no single type of building use should dominate the central Delaware riverfront. Take the long view. Do not be seduced by short-term gains in developing the central Delaware. Think big and create bold plans for the future of I-95 at Penn s Landing, the connections between the river and the neighborhoods and the possibilities for creating a world-class riverfront. Protect the public good. Connect city neighborhoods to the riverfront through a new and distinct network of public places that tells the story of Philadelphia and the Delaware River. Establish the riverfront as a meeting place for all Philadelphia residents, and provide multiple access points for neighbors to use. Make it real, Philadelphia. Honor Philadelphia s illustrious past and promising future through the design of the central Delaware. Make the riverfront a real place based on local values by ensuring that the implementation of the Civic Vision for the Central Delaware is based on sustained civic engagement.
5 Executive Summary 13 Throughout the process of creating this civic vision, PennPraxis worked with the Philadelphia City Planning Commission and lead planning consultant Wallace Roberts and Todd, LLC (WRT) to refine a vision for the central Delaware that honored the civic principles and incorporated best-planning practices. Participants in the design process included representatives of numerous city and state agencies that helped to develop both short- and long-term recommendations for Philadelphia s central Delaware riverfront. Citizens provided feedback throughout the process through public forums, advisory group meetings and focused group discussions. The process was open, collaborative, respectful, responsive and iterative. The Civic Vision for the Central Delaware is based upon a set of three interlocking networks that establish a framework for growth: Movement systems: streets, public transit and trails Parks and open space: parks and ecological systems Land development: mix of uses
6 14 PennPraxis WRT William Penn Foundation A Framework for Growth
7 Executive Summary 15 The framework for growth presented herein will enable the central Delaware to fill in gracefully over time. As a framework for development, the vision incorporates ideas of sustainable urban growth, ecological principles, transportation policies and implementation strategies. Movement Systems The civic vision ensures that the public s ability to access the water is maintained for future generations through the creation of parks, streets, boulevard and trails. These improvements, when implemented over time, will provide a framework for development, increase property values and support a high quality of life. Parks and Open Space The civic vision calls for bringing existing neighborhoods to the river s edge with mixed-use development that extends the traditional Philadelphia grid under and over I-95; the creation of new parks, trails and open spaces; and the implementation of sound economic Land Development policies and development controls to enable the creation of a humane, walkable, dense urban riverfront. In short, it calls for the extension of Philadelphia to the river s edge. The Three Interlocking Networks A grid that extends to the riverfront is the foundation of the vision. Within the grid, parks and a mix of uses will bring Philadelphia's neighborhoods to the river's edge.

The restoration of the river s edge and the integration of riverfront parks and greenways will set the stage for Philadelphia to be a first-choice city. The South Philadelphia riverfront offers unique opportunities for nature and development to work together. I-95 Delaware Blvd. Market St.
14 22 PennPraxis WRT William Penn Foundation Strike the Right Balance Imagine a place to work, live and play. Nearly seven miles of riverbank offer opportunities for all types of uses. The civic vision imagines the old Port Richmond Rail Yard as the home to twentyfirst-century commerce and industry, which will provide jobs for new generations of Philadelphians who can live, work and play along the river.

21 Executive Summary 29
22 30 PennPraxis WRT William Penn Foundation The goals of the Civic Vision for the Central Delaware can be accomplished by following these key recommendations: Ensure public access to the riverfront through zoning, conservation easements and acquisition of public spaces. Create a continuous riverfront trail and parks every 2,000 feet. Improve the health of the river through a naturalized riparian buffer, and transform Penn s Landing into our signature riverfront public park. Connect the city to the river s edge by adopting a new street grid across the project area that connects adjoining neighborhoods with the riverfront, disperses traffic and creates a pedestrian-scaled urban environment. The new grid will include a new boulevard with mass transportation that is a part of a comprehensive, regional network of traffic and transportation. Capitalize on the rebuilding of I-95 over the next thirty-five years to redress the divide that the highway creates. Improve the quality of development through the creation of both an interim zoning overlay and a long-term riverfront zoning classification. The zoning classification, to be completed by the new Zoning Code Commission, needs to codify the goals of the civic vision. Ensure the protection of both natural and historic resources along the central Delaware. Build on economic assets by making use of innovative strategies for financing public infrastructure, city/state/federal collaborations and partnerships with anchor institutions, such as the working port, for job creation and retention. Ensure sound implementation efforts with early-action projects that demonstrate the viability of the vision. Create collaborative strategies to design, implement, manage and oversee the long-term realization of the vision while maintaining ongoing civic engagement. First, do no harm, ensuring that short-term gain does not preclude achieving long-term goals.
23 Executive Summary 31 To achieve these goals, Philadelphia will need to use tools it has not often used over the past thirty years, as it has largely handed over the role of public planning to the private development sector. Key among these traditional city powers are adopting new streets onto the official city plan and enacting and enforcing zoning regulations that support the civic vision. Indeed, it is the city s responsibility to determine its own form and to regulate how buildings act along its streets. The Civic Vision for the Central Delaware sets forth a new model for civic engagement in planning and development in Philadelphia one that places civic values at the heart of public decision-making.
